Be gay if you want. I could care less. However, I have an issue. [...] You may be a homo who identifies with women more than you do men, even though you steadfastly retain your penis and date guys, but trust me when I tell you that YOU ARE NOT A GIRL. [...] Get used to it, because I've had my fill of men pretending to be women. MUST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING?! [...] For all the grief it causes us, the period is humbling, dammit, and I wish to God all you testosteroney "girls" could just once reap the benefits of the relief that follows a rather tumultuous battle with PMS.
Um ... no. No, thank you. Had bladder cramps once. Every woman I knew at the time said that she had worse than that every month. I can live without THAT, thank you very much.
That said ... I've never entirely understood the whole "girl" thing, either. Not once. I mean, it's always puzzled me that someone would identify with someone they don't generally want to be (or touch in an intimate way, for that matter) in quite that way, just because they shtup people with pointing dinguses.
